Anti-Selenocysteine Lyase antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the SCLY gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 445 amino acid residues and a mass of 48.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the Class-V pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase protein family, it is known to catalyze the decomposition of L-selenocysteine to L-alanine and elemental selenium. Other names for this target antigen include SCL and hSCL. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the Selenocysteine Lyase antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
